Tamrac Digital Zoom 4 (Model 5684) Camera case for digital SLRs and larger point-and-shoot cameras Black Review


I bought this bag for my new Canon 40d with EF 28-135mm IS USM lens. Since I cannot afford additional lenses at the moment and probably wont be for a while, I wanted a compact bag for just the camera and kit lens along with an extra battery and flash card. The bag not only fit the camera with lens, but also a few other accessories.

Here is the configuration I use:

Main Pouch:
*Canon 40d
*EF 28-135mm IS USM lens (attached to camera)
*Lens hood (turned around; was worried this might no fit, but it does!)
*Canon 40d instruction book (fits on top of camera after insertion; a temporary addition until I figure out what the hell I am doing!)

Main Pouch Pocket:
*Lens cleaning pen
*Lens cleaning cloth

Front Pocket:
*Extra battery
*Extra Compact Flash card
(There is still room for an additional battery and more Compact Flash cards)

Side Pocket 1:
*Canon Battery Charger (perfect fit, may be able to slide in an extra CF card if need be)

Side Pocket 2:
*FireWire Compact Flash card reader
*FireWire cable for reader
*USB Cable for camera to computer connection

This is the compact take anywhere travel case I was looking for. It is nice to have the basic essentials all in one “perfect fit” case. Easily fits in a backpack with my other work essentials. When I go hiking or venture out I will likely take out the battery charger and CF reader w/cables and replace with other items like cell phone, keys, power bar, etc.

Great for now, but later when I acquire more lenses/accessories I will likely go for a backpack case as well.

(Another option for using this case with one or two additional lenses is to place additional lenses into their own individual case, then attach the cases using Tamrac’s Strap Accessory System. Just a thought.)
